By DANIEL TSUMA NYASSYMore by this AuthorDock Workers Union has announced key agreements with the government contained in a Memorandum of Understanding, among them promotion of workers based on experience, competence and long service instead of only academic qualification. These requirements were among other demands by the Dockers contained in a document presented to Deputy President William Ruto at Mbaraki Sports Club two weeks ago. DWU also declared that its members will campaign for Jubilee in next year’s General Election and “move away from the trade union’s tradition of being anti-government”. We have made major strides since then and we will meet the President in two weeks’ time. He said that the union will form a joint industrial council with KPA so that in future, industrial disputes are resolved at board meetings instead of resorting to workers’ strikes.
